BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to novel compositions of matter consisting of specific betaine derivatives referred to hereinafter as "phosphobetaines". More particularly, this invention relates to novel amphoteric and zwitterionic betaine surfactants having at least one phosphorus-containing anion in the molecule.

Betaines and certain substituted betaines are known in the art but prior to the present invention the novel phosphobetaines of this invention had not been disclosed or suggested. The phosphobetaines of the present invention exhibit outstanding foaming, viscosity-building, wetting, cleansing, detergency, anti-static and emulsifying properties and are therefore useful in industrial applications calling for high performance surface active agents. The compounds are also highly stable species and are extremely well tolerated by human tissue, i.e., they exhibit exceptionally low ocular irritation and oral toxicity, and are therefore eminently suited and useful as surface active agents in personal care compositions.

THE INVENTION

The novel phosphobetaine compounds of the invention may be represented by the following general formula: ##STR2## wherein

A is selected from O⁻, OM, and --O--Y--R.sup.⊕

B is selected from O⁻ and OM'

X.sup.⊖ is an anion

z is an integer from 0 to 2 with the proviso that only one of A and B can be O⁻ and z is of a value necessary for charge balance (i.e., when A and B are O⁻ and OM', or OM and O⁻, respectively, z is 0; when A and B are OM and OM', or --O--Y--R.sup.⊕ and O⁻, respectively, z is 1; when A is --O--Y--R.sup.⊕ and B is OM', z is 2).

R is an amidoamine reactant moiety of the formula ##STR3## wherein

R¹ is alkyl, alkenyl, alkoxy, or hydroxyalkyl of from 5 to 22 carbon atoms each, or aryl or alkaryl of up to 20 carbon atoms,

R² is hydrogen or alkyl, hydroxyalkyl or alkenyl of up to 6 carbon atoms each or cycloalkyl of up to 6 carbon atoms, preferably of from 2 to 5 carbon atoms, or polyoxyalkalene of up to 10 carbon atoms,

R³ and R⁴, which may be the same or different, are selected from alkyl, hydroxyalkyl, carboxyalkyl of up to 6 carbon atoms in each alkyl moiety, and polyoxyalkylene of up to 10 carbon atoms; in addition, R³ and R⁴ taken together with the nitrogen to which they are attached, may represent an N-heterocycle, e.g., a morpholino structure, in which the Y radical is bonded to a ring atom of said N-heterocycle other than the nitrogen of the R moiety;

n is an integer from 2 to 12

The term "polyoxyalkalene radical" as used above in the definition of R², R³ and R⁴ may be of the formula (R⁵ --O--R^(5'))_(m), wherein R⁵ and R^(5') are alkyl of from 1 to 4 carbon atoms and m is an integer from about 2 to 10.

In addition to the foregoing definitions wherein R is amidoamine,

R may be an N-heterocyclic radical which may contain one additional hetero atom (e.g., oxygen, sulfur or another nitrogen) and contains 5 to 6 total ring carbon atoms; optionally said heterocyclic radical may be substituted with alkyl and/or hydroxyalkyl of up to 20 carbon atoms each. Typical of such N-heterocyclic radicals are imidazolyl, N-alkylmorpholino, alkylpyrimidino, alkyloxazolinyl, and the like. Such compounds may be represented by the formula ##STR4## wherein

Z is N, S or O;

o is an integer from 0 to 3;

p is an integer from 1 to 3; provided that the sum of o+p is from 3 to 4;

R¹ is defined as before and is linked to a ring carbon atom; and

R⁶ is alkyl of from 2 to 6 carbon atoms which may be substituted with a hydroxyl group at the terminal or a non-terminal carbon atom.

Y may be alkylene, optionally interrupted by up to 3 oxygen atoms, of up to 12 carbon atoms, which alkylene chain may optionally be substituted with lower alkyl, alkoxy, hydroxy or hydroxyalkyl, e.g., of not more than 10 carbon atoms each.

M and M', which may be the same or different, are (a) hydrogen, (b) an organic radical selected from alkyl or hydroxyalkyl of up to 6 carbon atoms, polyhydroxyalkyl of up to 10 carbon atoms, glyceryl, cycloalkyl of up to 6 carbon atoms, aryl or arylalkyl of up to 10 carbon atoms, or (c) a salt radical selected from alkali metals (e.g., sodium or potassium), alkaline earth metals (e.g., magnesium or calcium), and mono-, di-, or tri-ethanolamine. With reference to formula (III) below, wherein both M and M' are contained, there is the proviso that when either M or M' is an organic radical (b), the other of M and M' must be hydrogen or a salt radical (c).

Particularly preferred sub-groups of the compounds of formula I can be represented as follows: ##STR5##

The compounds of general formula IV are bis-phosphobetaines containing two amine moieties. Compounds III and IV require the presence of an anion (X⁻) for charge balance. Said X⁻ radical can be an anion such as hydroxy or a halide, sulfate, phosphate, or a negatively charged (anion) radical supplied by a solvent or a reactant used in the synthesis of compounds of formulas III and IV. For instance, X⁻ may be the halide moiety ("Hal") released in the reactions below.

The phosphobetaine compounds (I) of the invention can be prepared from the corresponding phosphate esters and amine reactants, as follows: ##STR6## wherein

R is an amine reactant of the formulas ##STR7## in which the radicals are defined as above.

More specifically, the respective groups of phosphobetaine compounds of the invention as set forth above under formulas II, III and IV can be synthesized by a number of processes which are set forth schematically below:

Process A (Amine+Phosphate Ester Halide) ##STR8## wherein Hal=halogen and the other radicals are defined as above ##STR9## wherein the radicals are defined as above; ##STR10## wherein the radicals are defined as above.

An alternate process for making certain of the inventive phosphobetaine compounds utilizes a novel reaction between the amine reactant (R) and a cyclic hydroxypropylene-containing phosphate ester reactant, as shown schematically below:

Process B (Amine+Cyclic Phosphate Ester) ##STR11## wherein the reactants are defined as before, it being understood that the anion X⁻ can be supplied by the halide (Hal) group which is split from reactant IIIb (in which case X⁻ =Hal) or from another source, as explained above. The designations "HO(C₃ H₅)" or "(C₃ H₅ OH)" herein refer to a hydroxypropylene function in which the hydroxy can be linked to any one of the three carbons and the cyclic oxa-moiety is linked to one of the three carbons, probably at the 3- or 2-position of the propyl group.

The reactants required in the processes can be prepared as follows:

Preparation of Intermediate "R" Reactants

The amine reactant "R" applicable to all of the syntheses, is, in general, prepared by reacting an acid with an aminoalkyl-substituted tertiary amine to result in the amidoamine function. Alternatively, an acid can be reacted with an aminoalkyl-substituted secondary amine, followed by further treatment of the reaction product with alkylene oxide. Finally, when R represents the N-heterocyclic structure, e.g., imidazolyl, this can be prepared in accordance with known techniques, e.g., as taught in U.S. Pat. No. 2,267,965.

Reaction (7) below yields the non-cyclic reactants "R" and Reaction (8) illustrates the preparation of a typical cyclic amine reactant R (Imidazolyl): ##STR12## wherein, R¹ is defined as above and R⁷ is alkyl of 2 to 6 carbon atoms which may be substituted with a hydroxyl group (at the terminal or a non-terminal carbon atom. This cyclic reactant can be prepared as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 2,267,965.

Preparation of Phosphate Ester Intermediate Reactants

The preparation of the phosphate ester intermediate reactants as set forth in reaction sequences 1, 2 and 3 above are also prepared by reactions which are illustrated as follows: ##STR13##

For certain reactants IIa, viz., those wherein M is hydrogen or an alkali or alkaline earth metal cation, the following intermediate synthesis can be used: ##STR14## wherein

M" is an alkali or alkaline earth metal salt cation (e.g., sodium, potassium, magnesium or calcium)

Reactions (12) and (13) are carried out in two steps. The first is conducted under anhydrous conditions to generate a-chloro phosphate. Subsequently, this material is diluted to 40% with water and one mole equivalent of M"OH, e.g., sodium hydroxide.

The phosphate ester intermediate reactants required for synthesis route (B) supra, can be prepared as follows: ##STR15##

It will be noted that Reactions (14) and (15) utilize reactants similar to the reactants needed in Reactions 10 and 11 supra (although with the more limited hydroxypropyl definition), but that different, cyclic, products are obtained. The different products are the result of a different pH adjustment; thus, while reaction 10 is carried out at a pH of about 4-5, reaction 11 is carried out at a pH of 9.5 to 10.5, resulting in a cyclic product. This cyclic product may contain also some vicinal epoxy material so that the formula ##STR16## should be understood as including not only one or more of the isomers resulting from linkage of the oxa-oxygen to any one of the hydroxy-propylene carbons (to make a 5-, or 6-membered ring) but also the following structure: ##STR17## Operation at a higher pH, e.g., 10.5 or higher, would favor formation of the vicinal epoxy-containing material.

In carrying out the reactions 1 to 4 as set forth above leading to the ultimate phosphobetaine compound of the invention, the amine intermediate reactant (R) is reacted with the appropriate phosphate ester intermediate reactant and these reactions are generally carried out in an aqueous system at 80°-100° C. The phosphobetaine product will have a final pH at 10% of 6-8, depending on the specific nature of the product, i.e., the nature of the amine reactant employed.

These novel phosphobetaines are good surfactants and quite unexpectedly exhibit good foam volume and superior foam stability in comparison to commercially available, amphoteric and zwitterionic surfactants. This was determined by an adaptation of the well known Ross-Miles foam test principle ["Oil and Soap" 18, 99-102 (1941)] in the following manner.

Lanolin, anhydrous, cosmetic grade is mixed with dioxane (technical grade) in the proportion of 2.5 grams lanolin and 100 grams of dioxane. The lanolin is first mixed with 25 cc. of dioxane. This mixture is heated over a steam bath to 45° C. in order to dissolve the lanolin in the dioxane. The remainder of the dioxane is then added and mixed. This lanolin-dioxane solution, which is stored in an amber bottle, should be prepared fresh on the day that the tests are run.

The composition to be tested is diluted by adding 376 cc. of distilled water to 4 grams of the composition and then by adding 20 cc. of the lanolin-dioxane solution described above while mixing. Heat is produced when the lanolin-dioxane solution is added to the solution of the composition in water and care must be taken in adjusting the temperature of this solution to 24°-25° C. Both of these intermediate solutions should therefore be adjusted to 23° C. before mixing. The cooling of the lanolin-dioxane solution should be gradual in order to avoid precipitation of the lanolin. This will produce a final solution with a temperature of 24°-25° C.

The final solution of the composition to be tested, water, dioxane and lanolin described above, is then run in a modified Ross-Miles foam column in the usual way. All tests are conducted in duplicate, and the average of the two results is taken. Foam stability is determined by measuring the decay in foam height after two minutes, expressed as a percentage of the original height.

Typical foam values obtained utilizing the above procedure for an alkylamidophosphobetaine, an alkylamido betaine and an alkylamido sultaine are listed below:

As can be seen from the above results, the phosphobetaines of the present invention exhibit excellent foam volume and stability whereas the stability of the betaines and sultaines is significantly less.

In another series of tests, additional species of the phosphobetaine compounds of the invention were tested by a "cylinder shake test" for the evaluation of foaming characteristics.

In this test, test solutions containing 0.1% by weight of the candidate surfactant in water of 100 ppm hardness (calcium to magnesium ratio 3:2) were used and placed in 100 ml stoppered cylinders which had been cleaned so that water drains down its walls in an unbroken film. Each cylinder filled with test solution was shaken 20 times in a standard manner and net foam in ml is noted one minute and again five minutes after shaking. The tests were run in three replicates. The results were as follows:

In addition, the compounds of the present invention possess a surprisingly low ocular irritation potential when compared to commercially available amphoteric and zwitterionic surfactants. The test employed is the modified Draize Test (J. H. Draize et al, Toilet Goods Assn. No. 17, May, 1952, No. 1 Proc. Sci. Sect.).

In this method, a 0.1 ml sample of a neutral solution of the compound under investigation is dropped into one eye of an albino rabbit, the other eye serving as a control. Six rabbits are employed for each compound.

Observations are made after 1, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours and 7 days after initial instillation; second and third instillations are made after the 24 and 48 hour readings. Results may vary from substantially no change or only a slight irritation in the appearance of the rabbit's eye after 7 days to severe irritation and/or complete corneal opacity. Ocular lesions are scored for the cornea, iris and conjunctiva with a higher number indicating greater ocular irritation and the scores are added to give a total numerical value for each reading for 6 rabbits and average. The averaged score is an indication of the irritation potential of the composition under test.
